The McDonald brothers' original restaurant served only hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, milkshakes, and the original pre-1960s type of French fries. Today's McDonald's menu includes numerous other items that have been added through the years. Below are listed the basic items sold by the company.
All beef patties are seasoned, consisting primarily of salt and minced pepper.
In mid-February 2012, McDonald's has introduced the Happy Meals/Mighty Kids Meals so that they now come with either a Hamburger, Cheeseburger, 4 piece Chicken McNuggets, McDouble or the 6-piece Chicken McNuggets with a smaller version of the small fry for the Happy Meal or a small fry for a Mighty Kids Meal. All kids meals now come with fries, apple slices and a toy. The apple slices have been reduced from 8 slices to only 4 and no longer come with caramel dipping sauce.
McDonald's introduced breakfast foods in 1972.
Beverages purveyed by McDonald's varies regionally.
